At the Annual General Meeting, shareholders also ratified the Company's rolling stock option plan and re-appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Chartered Accountants, as auditors of the Company.
2018 Exploration Plans
Gold Cap, Yukon: Exploration at Gold Cap, 6 km northeast of White Gold's Golden Saddle deposit, will include detailed mapping and prospecting and a deep penetrating GT Probe soil sampling program. The program is scheduled for late July.
RC Gold, Yukon: The target at RC Gold is a Tintina Gold Belt Intrusion Related Gold deposit, similar to Dublin Gulch in Yukon and Fort Knox in Alaska. The planned 2018 program of detailed mapping, sampling and an IP geophysical survey is scheduled to commence in early August.
Spius Cu-Mo-Au Porphyry, BC: Plans for the 2018 field season include an IP survey to update and expand the earlier survey, additional soil sampling and geological mapping. This program will target the 500 m by 1,000 m Central Copper Anomaly, defined by anomalous soil samples and highlighted by two float samples of disseminated sulphide mineralization assaying 2.53% Cu and 1.43% Cu. Work is expected to commence in August, but is subject to receipt of a permit.
